Episode 5 - The Rescue

Cary is in trouble during the fifth episode, The Rescue. You'll remain on this path if you completed the fourth episode along the best ending route. The story branches again at the end of this episode if you fail to save your brother.

Mission 1 - Tailing Suspect Cop

Objective: Tail Suspicious Cop.

This fellow cop is acting odd. Follow him. Don't let him get away or the mission ends in a failure. But don't get too close either!

Follow the suspicious member of the Hollywood PD. You know the drill by now. Don't fall too far behind (allow the red circle on the mini-map to move off of the mini-map for too long) and don't get too close. The suspicious cop seems to abide by traffic laws so expect him to slow down around other cars, traffic lights, and stop signs. Don't drive at full speed. Go fast enough to keep the car on the mini-map. Be especially cautious around turns as the cop slows down considerably and you might get caught if you're speeding around turns. Fail the mission (he gets away) and you're sent to mission three; fail and catch up to him and you enter mission four. Successfully follow him to his destination and you'll go directly to mission two.

Mission 2 - Bum Encounter

Objective: Fight Winos.

Reenact a "Bum Fight" video with this mission. It's a fist fight against a couple of bums in this abandoned house. You battle two weapon-wielding bums initially; both possess four exclamation points to punch and kick through. Stun them and perform one of your unlocked finishing moves (or just any finishing move!). You can move through the various rooms of the abandoned house. Battle in the kitchen and slam one into the stove for additional explosive damage. The third bum appears after you have defeated the first two. This final attacker possesses six exclamation points. Fail this task and you're sent into the alternate third mission.

Mission 3 - Meeting Rafferty

Objective: Drive to Meeting. Solve Street Crimes (Optional).

This is a freeform driving mission. Take the opportunity to solve some street crimes and earn points and badges. Use them to enter the 24/7 facilities and grab any more upgrades you haven't already unlocked. When done, drive to the green indicator marked on the mini-map to complete the mission.

Mission 3 (Alternate) - The Peking Duck

Objective: Drive to Butcher Shop.

This is a freeform driving mission. Take the opportunity to solve some street crimes and earn points and badges. Use them to enter the 24/7 facilities and grab any more upgrades you haven't already unlocked. When done, drive to the green indicator marked on the mini-map to complete the mission.

Mission 4 - Butcher Shop Rush

Objective: Race to Butcher Shop.

You have 2 minutes, 14 seconds to reach the butcher shop and complete this driving mission. You begin on Crenshaw Blvd. Stay on Crenshaw until you can take a right on Olympic. Now it's just a straight rush down Olympic. Turn on your siren to encourage civilians to get out of your way. You'll find the butcher shop near the corner of Olympic and Hoover. Failing to reach the butcher shop in time skips mission five and sends you directly to mission six.

Mission 5 - On the Chopping Block

Objective: Fight Triad Butchers.

Fight the butchers near the stove to cause some explosive damage.

Time to bash some Triad scum. These guys brandish weapons and aren't slouches. You can pummel them into the stoves for additional damage. Work through their four exclamation points with punches and kicks so you can perform a finishing move. A third butcher arrives once you have defeated the first two. He has six exclamation points to erase before he's stunned. If you fail to defeat all three, you're sent to mission seven.

Mission 6 - Slaughterhouse

Objective: Shoot Triad Butchers.

Fight your way through the butcher shop and shoot every Triad member you encounter. These butchers can also appear on the meat hooks moving through the shop. Pick up their discarded automatic weapons for added firepower. You'll find a health kit after the first stretch of meat hooks after you enter a doorway to the left. Locate the health kit on the right wall. You're now in the final horseshoe-shaped section. Nail the remaining guards and reach the green triangle marking the exit. Failing this task sends you to crime patrol and the alternate episode six.

Mission 7 - Finale: The Great Escape

Objective: Escape from the Triad Goons

You and Cary must escape two cars filled with Triad goons. Might be an easy task if you were in your normal car but instead you're driving a beat down old truck! Evade the pursuers by making frequent turns, especially down tight streets (your start point is a good place to move through a couple times). Avoid staying on straight roads for an extended amount of time because the pursuers can easily catch your truck.

Watch the mini-map and monitor the pursuers' positions so you can turn away from them at every opportunity. When you've managed to get one pursuer off of the screen, be sure to drive away from his position so you don't have to deal with him again and can focus on the last remaining enemy vehicle. Complete the great escape successfully to enter the bonus stage (as long as all other missions have been completed successfully). Fail and you enter crime patrol and the alternate episode six.
